The goals set forth in the paper provide general <br /> direction for addressing the region's transportation issues and respond to our <br /> assumptions about these issues. <br /> • By the end of September, staff expects to complete the initial draft of the <br /> plan, which will then be forwarded to the Regional Transit Board for its 90-day <br /> review as prescribed by state law. In April of next year, the Council will <br /> hold a formal public hearing on the draft plan, with adoption expected in June <br /> 1988. <br /> During the next eight months, the draft plan will be the subject of discussion <br /> in numerous settings including the Council's Metropolitan Systems Committee, <br /> the Transportation Advisory Board and at least one forum for local planners. <br /> If you have questions about the summary paper or would like more information <br /> about the various stages of the review process, please contact Carl Ohrn of our <br /> Transportation staff at 291-6507. <br /> Over .the past year, Council staff has prepared a series of issues papers that <br /> have served as the basis for discussion in the plan revision process.
